Twelve steps to evaluating interprofessional education

This paper sets out a step-by-step plan to help readers design, implement and disseminate evaluations of interprofessional education (IPE). We present the following twelve steps that are central to this process: formulating evaluation questions, agreeing on the evaluation approach, using evaluation frameworks, drawing upon evaluation expertise, reviewing the literature, selecting a methodology and design, securing ethical approval, accessing data, addressing fieldwork issues, using evaluation instruments, considering resources, and outlining disseminating choices.
